How to open a Unicredit Bank Austria account?

The bank in question opens personal and corporate accounts. Opening a new account to be present in person is unnecessary – to issue a power of attorney to the representative is enough. But in some cases, the bank requires a personal or online meeting if additional information is needed.

Collecting information and documents and properly arranging them will be necessary at the preliminary stage of opening a Unicredit Bank Austria account. The bank adheres to the principle of “know your client” and may require additional information and documents to understand who the client is clearly. Among other things, information about the line of business and the sources of income of individuals who intend to open accounts is essential. For legal entities, it is important to submit information about the type of activity and proof of the legitimacy of the origin of the income.

In addition to the application form, the primary documents provided by individuals include their passports and documents confirming their residence address (utility receipts or bank statements). Legal entities provide originals and duly certified copies of constituent documents for consideration. Companies that have existed for more than one year also provide a document that confirms proper reputation and current status – A Certificate of Good Standing.

Legal entities also provide documents on the beneficiaries, managers, and account managers:

• identification documents;
• proof of address (receipts of payment of utilities).

Documents from jurisdictions that are signatories to the 1961 Hague Convention are submitted with apostille. In other cases, consular legalization is required. The bank reserves the right to request additional information and documents and refuses to open an account.
